Birth

(on the occasion of a baby shower for a friend)

The first rays of sunshine, brings a sense of serenity deep in the heart
The first feeling of love, brings a sense of belonging, an experience beyond imagination
The first feeling of pain, brings a sense of strength, beyond words
The first feeling of loss, brings a sense of reality, an opportunity to see divine
The first feeling of birth, brings an experience of a life time – a glimpse of bliss through the divine presence
A shift from physical to eternal
Enjoy the rare experience of bliss from nature

To the One and Only

(to my father-in-law on his 60th birthday)

To a Son, who fulfilled every desire of the parents with utter devotion
To a Brother, who performed every duty with immense love and sacrifice
To a Friend, who stood side by side on every challange and cherished every moment
To a Husband, who showered undivided attention and love through good and difficult times
To a Father, who shared every piece of his happiness selflessly
To a Leader, who led his team through every obstacle with ease, dignity and humility
To a Mentor, who showed direction to many with no distinction of relation
To a God-Father, who assumed complete responsibility of some, with compassion and love
To a Father-in-law, who led life as an inspiration to others
To a Grand-Father, who became one with them, innocent and free
To a Devotee, who is sincere, full of reverence, with total surrender to the Divine

I am fortunate to be your son-in-law (son)… Wish you a very happy 60th birthday.

Uncle, You DID it. You left no stone untouched, no opportunity missed, no responsibility left, no fun untapped.

With Best Wishes and Lots of Love.
